Einstein's birthday 14.March.1879 is also informal Pi Day as 3.14.  He
ridiculed Lasker's Chess obsession. What is the harm playing CVs with
Capablanca? --compared to, say, chain saws or atomic weapons. Did Einstein
never fianchetto a Bishop? For self-improvement, ever even run a mile,
bluff a straight, or perform in some square Chess/Boxing ring countering a
right cross with power combinations?  Round 3.14 is thankfully lots closer
to pi than Indiana Legislature's hopeless proposed 3.0 for convenience in
1897 that recent era. Three as first approximation. Many many trials it takes to
get it right be it pi, relativity, evolution, opening theory. GM Vukcevich
(1937-2003) of this very chosen thread once was on actual list for Nobel
Prize consideration in field of Physics too.
